Speech Pathology

Communication and feeding support that feels safe, supported and connected.

If you’re wondering whether your child needs support with speech, language, communication, friendship skills, or feeding/swallowing, you’re in the right place.

At Playful Paediatrics, speech pathology is grounded in connection. Because children don’t learn when they feel pressured. They learn when they feel safe.

We support with:

Early communicators

Late talkers, toddlers finding their words, and little ones building their first foundations of connection and communication.

Speech and language development

Children needing support with understanding language, expressing themselves, speech clarity, vocabulary, voice, fluency or literacy foundations.

Friendship skills

Children developing conversation skills, perspective-taking and confidence in social situations.

Autistic and neurodivergent children

Support that is neuro-affirming, respectful and tailored to your child’s strengths.

AAC users

Children who communicate using signs, visuals, speech-generating devices or other Alternative and Augmentative Communication (AAC).

Feeding and mealtimes

Children who experience challenges with feeding, oral motor skills or mealtime routines.

And more…

Here’s How We Show Up:

Communication happens everywhere, at any time. We’re here to support that.

In our Moorooka home clinic

A warm, relaxed space designed for play, creativity and connection.

At your child’s kindy, childcare or school

So strategies make sense in the environments that matter most.

Via telehealth

Flexible, engaging sessions that meet you wherever you are.

Through home visits

Because sometimes the best place to learn is where your child already feels safe.

Consultative services

Working alongside families, educators and other professionals to keep support aligned.

Professional development

Training for early learning centres, schools and allied health teams who want to deepen connection-first practice and strengthen their confidence engaging with children with language disorders, complex communication needs and those who use AAC.

Meet Our Speechies

The ones on the floor. In the sandpit. At the craft table. Connecting and celebrating every win, big or small, with you and your little one.

Our speech pathologists are connection-first, play-led and deeply committed to walking alongside your child and family. We believe therapy should feel safe, warm and human. Not rushed, rigid or clinical. You’ll find us getting curious, exploring creativity, and always looking for the moment your child lights up. Because that’s where learning begins.
